What slow change would have caused this river to become so shallow over time?

A small amount of soil was deposited over time.

Heavy rainfall flooded the river.

A glacier melted and flooded the river.

A large amount of soil was moved into the river during an earthquake.

What happens when glaciers slowly move down a mountain?

The glaciers cause erosion by taking sediment and moving it somewhere else.

The glaciers melt and refreeze causing deposition.

The glaciers melt and form giant lakes in the middle of the mountain.

The glaciers cause deposition in caves.

This sandbar occurred as a result of running water, wind, and waves. Waves picked up the sand from the beach and deposited it in the water. How is the formation of a sandbar different from the changes to a beach caused by wind erosion?

Sandbars are built up surfaces and erosion removes the surface of the beach.

Sandbars develop only in fresh water and erosion happens near salt water.

Sandbars make beaches safer and erosion makes beaches more dangerous.

Sandbars cause organisms to lose their habitats and erosion creates new habitats.

A topographic map is a

map that shows the changes in elevation of the Earth surface

map that shows the Earth's decline over time

map that shows the location of trees, bushes and flowers

map that shows the location of buildings and houses

If we were in a plane, Path B --> C is about the same distance as path E --> N. But, which path is the easier walk?

B --> C and E --> N are the same walking distance

A satellite image of an area in Florida shows a river with slight bends along its length. A second satellite image taken of the same area 10 years later shows the same river with a different course. What is the best explanation for the difference in the shape of the river's course between the two satellite images?

Water eroded the banks of the river and deposited the eroded soil on opposite banks, causing the river to form tighter bends

Wind blew waves across the water surface, eroding away the bank on one side of the river until the river's course changed its shape

Regular freezing and thawing of the river split the soil along the river banks, changing the shape of the river

Acid rain chemically weathered the banks along the river, forcing the river to wind back and forth

Sediment is deposited in a river delta because the

velocity of the river decreases

gradient of the river increases
